Ito Bisonó signed an international cooperation agreement with Almagro at the OAS
Washington.- The dominican political leader, Víctor -Ito- Bisonó, spoke with Luis Almagro, Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), about the current electoral crisis resulting from the suspension of municipal elections and reiterated his vote of confidence to the audit that will be carried out by the experts of this body.
For Bisonó this situation “has deeply hurt the credibility of the country, generating a climate of distrust as it was not seen in decades.” In addition, the current deputy said that it is vital for democracy to determine what happened on February 16 in the Dominican Republic.
“As a parliamentarian and Dominican I reiterate my vote of confidence so that the audit to be carried out with OAS experts determines what happened. Only then can one believe in an outcome, now that no local organization has the independence or credibility necessary for citizens to exercise their right to vote in peace, ”he emphasized during his visit to the OAS headquarters.
